Thank you for your feedback, Alberto.

Extracting the audio payload from RTP frames and mixing them together
with 'sox' is not an incredibly difficult task. It works for 90% of
simple calls. The problem with this approach to call recording is that
certain calls have non-straightforward RTP timing scenarios which would
lead to unintelligible garbage if simply interleaving the audio frames
together. This is what sets the sophisticated call recording systems
apart; they are RTP-aware, and emit playable recordings in an RTP-aware
way that takes these nuances into account. RTP can get quite complex.
